Oh ihr Sterblichen, ihr seid nicht verlassen, die Natur lebt noch! - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I call every man intolerant from principle, who conceives no man can be a man of virtue and probity, who does not believe exactly what he does, and unmercifully consigns to perdition all those who do not think like himself.

On Providence

It is pity in which the state of nature takes the place of laws, morals and virtues, with the added advantage that no one there is tempted to disobey its gentle voice.

Oh, mein Freund, bleibe aufrecht stehen, du wirst doch immer der Erde ziemlich nahe sein.
